[00:10.77]Let your name echo on,
[00:14.47]off my tongue,
[00:15.52]I fear no timely death.
[00:17.73]
[00:21.93]All mortal suffering I defy,
[00:27.00]with faith no savior ought deny.
[00:35.87]I watch the wraiths as they're gathering,
[00:40.72]preceding Yama, on a buffalo steed,
[00:47.91]he's bearing down with malevolence,
[00:51.85]on me.
[00:57.27]
[01:01.96]Should I relent and lay trust in your goodness,
[01:06.58]in descent through the crust in to darkness?
[01:10.52]My Shiva, I'm fading. Don't forsake me, defend,
[01:19.34]spare me this end.
[01:30.77]
[01:53.52]There is a slightest hinting breeze.
[01:57.52]Dare I awake to what surrounds my vicinity?
[02:02.90]Rising up I find myself embracing sights familiar,
[02:08.77]still, like homelands left in wake of war.
[02:13.44]
[02:16.38]And what form is this that lies before me now?
[02:20.82]Yama is your name, ol' tyrant infamed,
[02:25.81]Gripping your noose with cadaverous jade hands.
[02:30.00]Oh Shiva, you've fell death,
[02:34.01]indebting corporeal,
[02:37.45]we who so anxiously drew breath.
[02:43.45]
[02:59.39]But as living laws crumble,
[03:05.33]we've lost sight of justice,
[03:07.89]perhaps not deities,
[03:10.64]but our own mortality instills in us all our morality.
[03:20.58]Deathless existence has become the worst fate I'd imagine.
[03:35.96]Return mortal curse.
